Using free spyware removal tools for removing spyware is pretty easy. These free spyware removal tools are designed to used by everyone. Just follow the steps oulined below and your computer will be spyware free.

1) Download both free spyware removal tools and install them.

Ad-Aware
SpyBot Search&Destroy

2) Update both free spyware removal tools immediately (both spyware removers have an UPDATE button).

3) Do a spyware scan with both of them. In SpyBot Search&Destroy you have only one type of scan, a normal scan, but in Ad-Aware you can have a quick, a smart and a full scan. Choose the full scan as you want to be thorough.

4) Wait patiently, as the scans can take up to 15-25 or even more minutes (depending on your computer's speed and the number of files you have on your hard drive).

5) When the free spyware removal tools finished the scans, get rid of the infections by clicking the REMOVE button.

6) For ongoing protection do a software update and a do spyware scan at least once a week to make sure you stay clean from infections.

Congratulations, you just have cleaned your computer from spyware and adware.

Take my advice and buy some spyware removal tools. They don't cost that much money and they're well worth the investment. These spyware removal tools have a larger infection databases, so they can detect more malware. As of writing, the free SpyBot Search&Destroy has a spyware definition base of 83.900 infections, the free version of Ad-Aware knows more than 112.000 malicious programs. ParetoLogic's XoftSpy SE has an infection database of more than 276.000 spyware!

Not every program knows about every spyware infection, so there is no such thing as the perfect spyware removal tool. It is best to use more software simultaneously to make sure that you're actually completely removing ALL spyware infections from your computer, not just those that are known by one tool. It is a good idea to mix free spyware removal tools and paid tools as well.

The paid spyware removal tools provide additional services that are quite useful:
- permanent protection of your computer (they set up a shield and protect you from spyware in real-time),
- automatic updates (they update the software and the database by themselves, you do not have to care for it),
- scheduled scans of your computer (set it up and forget about it) ,
- blocking of malicious tracking cookies,
- registry protection (malicious software attack the registry quite often),%
- and more...

Here are some of the best spyware removal tools that you can try. These tools do a free spyware scan, you can see the software's functions and settings, but you have to register them before you can use the extra features.
